You can already see the weir from the dam. A small rest area and information boards invite you to linger for a while

The Pretzien weir protects the cities of Magdeburg and Schönebeck from worse in extreme flood situations because when the weir is opened, around a third of the Elbe's water is diverted via the Alte Elbe, which significantly relieves the pressure on these two cities. To this end, new flood protection systems have been installed in the villages that are then located in the new floodplain, such as Plötzky + Pretzien, in recent years. These can be closed when necessary and keep the water out of the towns. The flood gates can be clearly seen at the town entrances.
